exposing terry forster

in what may be one of the worst photographs (from a technical standpoint) ever used on a baseball card, i give you terry forster's 1978 sspc card:

did the photographer forget to rewind the roll and start to open the back of the camera?  or did terry forster tie-dye with jacket and shirt in a purple hue?  at least there's no airbrushing, like on forster's 1978 topps card.

thank goodness for small favors.
